Chapter 480 - 475: Nice Acting, Don’t Do It Next Time
"This is... the Power of Rule!"
Among the group of battling Lords, there were indeed some who understood the Power of Rule very well, and immediately sensed the force within Lin You’s attack, their eyes widened sharply.
Others, upon hearing their exclamations, were equally astonished and stopped their hands.
However, they were Tier Nine Lords, whose minds were not comparable to ordinary people.
After the shock, they quickly realized, exchanged glances, and seemed to reach some kind of consensus at that moment.
"Charge together!"
"Let’s take him down first!"
With loud shouts, more than ten Tier Nine Lords directly turned their focus, rapidly encircling Lin You.
Clearly, they intended to pool their strength to eliminate Lin You, a major threat, first.
This would benefit them and their realm.
Otherwise, if such a figure was left unchecked, he would definitely seize a significant amount of fortune, and he must not be allowed to remain.
"Die!"
A shirtless brute suddenly leaped high; the sharp heavy sword, towering over a man in height, slashed down fiercely towards Lin You’s head.
Lin You hadn’t expected them to react so quickly and besiege him.
Seeing the heavy sword descending from the sky, he raised a hand, placing a Turtle Shield Mirror Wall in front of himself.
"Boom!"
"Crack—"
An intense collision accompanied by fissuring sounds.
The incredibly sturdy Turtle Shield Mirror Wall was immediately blasted with large fractures, spreading like a spider’s web, barely holding.
Such powerful strength.
Lin You was startled.
This brute’s strength was definitely among the top levels within Tier Nine, no wonder he could so easily kill other Lords earlier, truly impressive.
But.
Such level of strength alone won’t be enough to kill him.
Seeing others drawing weapons and surrounding him from all directions, Lin You’s eyes flashed like lightning, one hand pressed on the ground, and a large amount of vines suddenly shot out from around his body, aiming at them swiftly.
"Careful!"
"It’s a Plant Type attack method!"
Several Lords warned in shock, using agile reactions to dodge the vines, flashing to the side.
Some even slashed directly, cutting the vines into two, then charged at Lin You again, unleashing fierce attacks.
Whoosh!
At that moment, two arrows tore through the air, hurtling towards him.
It was clearly an Elf Lord at the back of the team, having drawn a bow and arrow to full moon!
Lin You had heard of the Elf Race’s innate shooting skills.
In just the span of a breath, the two arrows aimed at his left and right.
Where the arrowheads reached, the space seemed to twist and even brought with them the sound of breaking through air.
Shadow Kill!
Lin You didn’t hesitate, activating the Shadow Killing Skill.
The moment before being hit by arrows, he turned into a shadow and vanished from the spot.
"Not good, it’s a displacement skill!"
Several Lords rushed forward but found themselves striking empty air.
The two arrows further embedded into the ground with two sounds, their tails shaking intensely.
The Elf Lord was evidently stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin You to dodge his attack in this manner.
But in the next second, his face changed dramatically, sensing a sharp chill coming from behind, sending shivers down his spine.
Almost instinctively, he turned with the bow and arrow horizontally in front of him, retreating rapidly.
"Poof!"
However, a blade infused with cold hesitation still pierced through his chest, bringing his movements to a sudden halt.
The Elf Lord turned in astonishment, finding that the initial attacker was merely a phantom clone.
And the real Lin You had been waiting at his retreat path, swiftly finishing him with one strike.
Despite his many regrets, the Elf Lord was enveloped in light, forcibly teleported away from there.
Everything happened so suddenly, that the remaining Lords hadn’t reacted yet.
By the time they came to their senses, the Elf Lord had already disappeared from the spot.
"This... is this the Power of Rule?"
"So fast!"
"Could he be one of those few monsters from the Ten Great Realms?"
The Lords were utterly shocked, no one dared to act rashly anymore.
Having mingled in the Ten Thousand Realms for so long, they naturally heard of some Lords being able to use the Power of Rule even before reaching Tier Ten.
For example, within the Ten Great Realms, there were a few brilliant talents who independently killed Tier Ten Demon Leaders while being at Tier Nine, successfully integrating Divine Fragments.
These people.
Were basically King’s candidates.
Unless something unexpected happened, establishing a duchy in the future was practically certain.
But even so.
While those talented individuals’ powers should not be this monstrous.
After all, a Divine Fragment only enhances by 10%.
Before upgrading to Tier Ten, such a degree of enhancement shouldn’t be that exaggerated, capable of instantly killing Lords of the same level.
When did a Tier Nine Lord this monstrous appear in the Ten Thousand Realms?
They couldn’t comprehend.
Yet they recognized, if the engagement continued, even with more people, a heavy price would inevitably be paid.
Now it’s just the first layer of the Tower of Fortune, it wasn’t worth fighting so desperately.
Gradually, many began harboring the thought of retreat, slowly withdrawing backward.
"Retreat!"
No one knew who shouted, but all the Lords scattered, directly abandoning their plan of sieging.
The decisiveness of their actions made them disappear in the blink of an eye.
"They sure run fast." Lin You’s expression was peculiar.
Lords who can rise to Tier Nine are indeed not easy to deal with.
Sensing danger, they fled without even a moment’s hesitation.
It seems he needs to hide his strength a bit.
Only then can he appear weak to the enemy and deliver a fatal strike when least expected.
As for the conversation among those lords just now, he heard every word clearly.
According to what they said...
Someone else among the Ten Great Realms, like him, has independently killed a Tier Ten Demon Leader and completed the Saint’s Path?
If that’s true, then his Divine Fragment wouldn’t be unique.
In this trial, he might encounter other Tier Nine Lords possessing Divine Fragments, so he needs to be cautious.
With that thought, he made a simple stop by the oasis and continued towards the forest area.
Along the way.
He encountered several ambushes from lords, contributing four kills to his tally.
It wasn’t until half an hour passed that he finally exited the desert region and reached the forest outskirts.
What surprised Lin You greatly was...
The entire forest was full of towering Ancient Trees, each hundreds of meters high.
The trunks of these Ancient Trees were astonishingly large, crisscrossing in the air, allowing people to walk easily above them, making the place look like a magical forest.
"I wonder how Yan Lie and the others are doing now."
Looking at the dense forest in front, Lin You murmured quietly.
This Tower Interior Space is so vast; he hasn’t met any Lords from the Primordial Realm along the way, let alone Yan Lie and the others.
However, with those guys’ abilities, they should be able to pass the first level as long as they’re careful.
Perhaps he might meet them in the upper levels.
"Quick! She ran that way!"
Suddenly, a shout interrupted Lin You’s thoughts.
Amidst the crisscrossing forest, several figures appeared, swiftly closing in on him.
It seems more prey has come knocking?
Lin You’s eyes lit up, and he immediately concealed himself, dodging to the top of a nearby tree for hiding.
Only then did he finally see the figures clearly.
Three burly men were chasing a frail woman, their mouths spewing violent curses.
"You damned woman, daring to kill someone from the Supreme Mysterious Realm, you won’t escape!"
"Do you think you can escape from our grasp?"
"Ahead is the forest fringe, let’s see where else you can run to!"
Supreme Mysterious Realm?
Lin You’s eyes narrowed.
Such narrow streets clash.
Originally, he planned to assess the situation before considering whether to act, but since they’re from the Supreme Mysterious Realm, there’s nothing to think about.
Immediately, he subdued his breath and moved along the crisscrossing tree trunks to the path they were bound to take.
Faintly, he could already hear the female lord’s growing panting, stumbling over the uneven roots of the Ancient Trees.
Through the gaps of the tree trunks, looking down, he saw a swaying snow-white figure that almost blinded him.
Good grief.
See no evil.
Lin You quickly gathered his thoughts and looked toward the distance.
He saw the three Supreme Mysterious Realm Lords with formidable momentum, even faster than the female lord, gradually forming an encirclement at her side.
"Haha, little girl, you’re running out of steam, aren’t you?"
One of the burly men wielding a wolf fang club laughed heartily, finally catching up, and brutally swung the massive club towards the female lord, showing no pity.
"Boom!"
A loud noise ensued.
The female lord dodged the attack but was flung aside by the impact, crashing into a nearby tree trunk, spewing a mouthful of blood.
Taking advantage of the opportunity...
The three Supreme Mysterious Realm Lords immediately surrounded her, cutting off her escape route completely.
"Run, why aren’t you running?"
"Weren’t you very formidable when ambushing us just now?"
Their arrogant laughter echoed throughout the forest outskirts, as if afraid others wouldn’t know they were there.
The female lord wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth but said nothing.
Instead, she drew the twin blades from her waist, ready to fight desperately, her chest heaving intensely.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air rang out.
Sharp Wooden Thorns shot out from the treetops above them, aimed directly at their vital spots.
Simultaneously.
A surge of Vines erupted from the ground, sealing off their retreat.
"Who!"
The three brawny men shouted angrily, quickly turning back to block the Wooden Thorns with their weapons, each staggered back several steps.
"Thud!"
Unexpectedly, the sound of flesh being pierced echoed, freezing them in place.
None of them had been hit, nor did such a sound occur.
But suddenly they realized something, quickly turning to look at the female lord leaning against the tree trunk.
At this moment, the female lord’s eyes were wide open, gazing incredulously at the Vine penetrating her abdomen.
"Nice acting, next time don’t bother."
Lin You, hidden behind the tree trunk, slowly appeared, looking playfully at the people below.
